At the 2014 RIMS Annual Conference & Exhibition, one session reviewed the new SMART Act (Strengthening Medicare and Repaying Taxpayers Act) and how it changes traditional Medicare Secondary Compliance.
Roy A. Franco, chief legal officer with Franco Signor LLC, and Bary Dillard, manager of guest claims for Walt Disney World, spoke to attendees about what is now legally required and what to expect in future regulations and policy from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and what parts of the new law have been fully implemented and what remains to be done.
Franco and Dillard commended MARC, AAJ, RIMS, DRI and FMI for their support of the SMART Act. Both warned, however, that regulation is required for certain aspects of the law.
